Please send your emails to info@mysteriousbookshop.com or call the store. Ian, Dan, even Otto, will be able to help. If you are a Crime Club member please identify yourself as such - your files are set up in a different way and we wouldn't want your information to be lost.
So. Whatever you plan on celebrating this coming holiday season - from Christmas to Festivus - have a wonderful time. Please note that I will be away from the store from December 18th until December 24th. Yes, I will be BACK for Christmas! How perverse.

PRE-ORDERING
I have already ordered from the U.K. a few signed copies of Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel, the sequel to Wolf Hall, the Man Booker Prize-winning story of Thomas Cromwell. This is in no way a mystery, but there are one or two of you who will want a copy I know. Maybe more than one or two of you. Let me know. We can’t guarantee unlimited copies, but we’d like to see how many we should be ordering.
